"Practice gone wrong."

On this day, Monkey, who was already in the late stage of True Immortal, suddenly said.

In the eyes of the brown bear monster, these words are simply fantasy. This guy feels that there is no bottleneck in cultivation, and breakthroughs are just for fun.

During the same practice, the monkey next to him suddenly glowed with light, breaking through the realm in just ten breaths. The brown bear monster was stunned for a moment.

As for the brown bear monster himself, he was still stuck in the late stage of Hedao and could not save or advance, which made him suffer a lot.

If it were his former self, it would be too late for him to be so happy in cultivation, but who should he compare to? The senior brothers around him are always reminding him that he is a waste, no matter how optimistic he is, he can't stand it.

Before, he kept hypnotizing himself, saying it was no big deal.

However, when the senior brother broke through the realm again and was only half a step away from the immortal, Xiong Ba really couldn't sit still.

But the monkey didn't notice this. He lowered his head in thought and muttered to himself.

"A gentleman seeks the road but not food; a gentleman worries about the road but not poverty."

"In the Sage's Sutra narrated by Master, all the exercises and magical powers can be explained clearly, but the word 'junzi' is the only one that is difficult to understand."

Throughout the Sage Sutra, there are hundreds of "gentlemen" in the entire text.

It can be seen that Master attaches great importance to the way of a gentleman.

However, the monkey cannot fully understand what this gentleman means. He cannot understand all the cultivation methods related to the gentleman, and there is no way to break through the immortals.

"Now, at the most critical moment of my practice, I am stuck on the word 'gentleman'! If I can't figure out the meaning of these two words, I will probably waste a lot of time."

For a moment, Sun Wukong frowned.

Only now did he know why Master Zhou Xuan didn't want to teach him the exercises.

He can't even understand the word "gentleman", he is really stupid!

Master said before that you should be a human being first and then cultivate the Tao.

This person is not an ordinary person, he is probably the word ‘gentleman’ in the sage scripture!

"It seems that we can only ask Master Zhou Xuan for advice."

Sun Wukong thought so.

Since Sun Wukong encountered difficulties in practice, he immediately wanted to ask his master for help.

The master is elegant, kind, and has the air of a gentleman. He must know what a gentleman means.

The more they get along with the master, the more monkeys feel that this master is unfathomable. The Taoism taught to them is not even one ten thousandth of the master's magical power. There are still many things he needs to learn.

It’s just that recently, Master often meditates alone and thinks to himself, as if he is enlightening on the great maxims. He probably doesn’t like to be disturbed.

But the realm is stuck at the peak of the Earth Immortal, and the monkey feels very uncomfortable.

He is only one step away from becoming a fairy.

As long as he understands what a gentleman is, he will succeed!

"It is said in the sage's scripture that you are sensitive and eager to learn, and you are not ashamed to ask questions."

"What's more, the sage's scripture also says that learning without thinking will lead to failure, and thinking without learning will lead to peril. If you don't know what the word 'junzi' means, the more you learn, the more problems you will run into."

Think about it this way.

The monkey lost his reserve and left the brown bear monster to practice alone. He escaped from his residence and went to the master's house.

This house was a stone house that was built as a homework assignment. The master gave him the task to train him to control strength.

Fortunately, he did a good job.

But for an immortal like Master, it is still too simple.

There were only simple stone tables and chairs in the room, as well as the four treasures of the study that he had traveled thousands of miles to get from nearby towns in accordance with his master's requirements.

At this time, Zhou Xuan was in the room.

Dressed in white, he sat at his desk and wrote famous articles and poems from his past life from memory.

Zhou Xuan has a very good memory, especially after time travel, but his memory is even deeper. However, he always insists that a good memory is not as good as a bad writing. It is one thing to write down some famous articles from his previous life and not be able to see them clearly. But in this isolated island, you

I couldn't find anything else to do for fun, so I inadvertently developed the habit of practicing calligraphy and writing.

If there is a chance, when I leave Taixutian and travel to other places, these things may come in handy.

So he usually writes and practices calligraphy.

Today, in addition to his noble demeanor, he also has a bit of a Confucian temperament, making him seem even more unfathomable.

It's just that he just started writing.

Then I heard a knock on the door.

"Master."

"Wukong, please see me!"

Hearing this voice, Zhou Xuan's expression moved slightly.

Since he finished explaining the Sage Sutra, he has not given any more lectures. Generally speaking, there is nothing serious and the two monsters will not disturb him.

Could it be said that after listening to the sage's sutra, the monkey could not understand its meaning?

This is most likely the case.

He saw that the monkey was so restless, so he couldn't calm down and understand the material of the Sage's Sutra. He must have memorized a few chapters, and then couldn't remember them anymore. He felt that it was boring. He hoped that he would teach the Shinto method instead of the Sage's Sutra.

.

With this thought in his mind, Zhou Xuan spoke loudly.

"Wukong, come in!"

The door opens.

The monkey felt a little nervous.

Because he taught the Sage Sutra, Master Zhou Xuan became more profound and majestic in his eyes, which invisibly put great pressure on him.

He casually lectures on scriptures and Taoism, which makes him achieve the breakthrough of true immortality, not to mention that he only has a partial understanding of the scriptures of saints.

But Wukong was so thirsty for knowledge that he didn't care about that much.

He was a little uneasy and walked in with his hands bowed. Suddenly he thought that this was rude, so he put down his hands and walked in upright.

Feeling that the monkey was becoming more and more cautious, Zhou Xuan felt a little happy.

I haven't hit or scolded him recently, so why is this monkey becoming more and more afraid of his kicks?

"Wukong pays homage to Master."

The monkey faced Zhou Xuan and bowed deeply.

"Get up."

Zhou Xuan's voice is calm and gentle, making people feel like they are taking a breath of spring breeze.

It felt like the monkey was being cautious, and Zhou Xuan only found it funny.

This monkey usually jumps up and down in front of Xiong Ba, but why does it become so frightened when it comes to him? He is not a big monster that eats people.

Smiling, Zhou Xuan said quietly: "Wukong, why did you come to my place today?"

He tried to speak as calmly as possible so that Wukong could relax.

Otherwise, the monkey will be nervous and make him feel a little uncomfortable.

Seeing that the master did not blame him for coming to bother him, the monkey felt relieved.

"Master taught the "Sage Sutra" last time. I read it several times and felt very happy. At the same time, I also understood Master's words: first be a human being and then practice. If you are not a gentleman, it will be difficult to cultivate the Tao!"

After listening to the monkey's rather literate words.

Zhou Xuan was slightly stunned.

What!?

The monkey really read the sage's scripture seriously! Is this a joke?

These days, even monkeys can read?

In fact, when Zhou Xuan taught the scriptures to the two monsters and saints, he simply dismissed them casually and did not expect the monsters to read it patiently. After all, even he found this stuff boring in his previous life.

The Book of Sages is not a novel. The contents in it are all general principles and nothing interesting.

The reason why Zhou Xuan still patiently teaches the Sage Sutra is because there is nothing left to teach. The main reason is that he only reads so many online articles, and if he can't advocate more powerful magical methods and monsters, he won't buy it.

Therefore, Zhou Xuan simply taught the sage scriptures, regardless of whether he could understand them or not, but as long as he could understand part of them, it was enough to make the monsters more humane and less murderous.

Therefore, he subconsciously felt that after Sun Wukong and Xiong Ba recited it for a while, they would soon lose interest.

But he never expected that the monkey would patiently note it down and even come to discuss the way of a gentleman with him. It was really outrageous!

Listening to the monkey's conversation, Zhou Xuan almost believed that the monkey had really read the Sage's Scripture carefully.

Otherwise it wouldn't be the case.
